Metalocalypse (2006–2013): Season 3, Episode 7 - Dethsiduals - full transcript

After losing a court case regarding songwriting residuals, William Murderface and Toki Wartooth start their own record label to make money while on band suspension. However, the first band they sign, a rap metal band called Get Thee Hence makes them long for their lives in Dethklok.

REPORTER:
Today's case is being called
the music trial of the decade.

Dethklok versus
Dethklok.

And it's made its way here
to the Supreme Court.

William Murderface
and Toki Wartooth have taken

Explosion, Pickles
and Skwigelf to war

over songwriting
residuals --

the backend profits
on all their records.

LAWYER:
Your honor, my clients
make up two fifths

of the highest selling
Death Metal band

of all time.

Yet they are being treated
like second class citizens.



Good people of the court,

we believe we need
to be treated fairly

and have an equal
five way split

on all songwriting
residuals.

Hey,
whats ams residuals??

Ugh, Toki.

We're at the Supreme Court
and you ask that now?

Look, they're like little
things that mean you get

paid lots of money for writing songs
like those guys.

Buts we don't even
write songs.

Hows can
we gets regiskuals?

Toki shut up!

Why are you sitting
on their side!

We're suing them!



Uhhhhh, your honor?

Please strike my stupid idiot
bandmate's comments

from
the record.

He's, uh, Norwegian
and he doesn't have

a great command
of the language.

Hey, Murderface.
We not gonna wins.

I already tolds you!

Why ams we askins
for requipicles

when we aints songs writers?

People of the court, these guys
are total dildos.

This is a waste
of court time!

Perhaps I can help us all
to put an end to this.

Mr. Murderface
and Mr. Wartooth

do not contribute
on a writing level

so they do not receive
writers credit, residuals, etc.

I've submitted all contracts signed by
them that show this.

That's bullshit!

They do however get a 2% back-end
on record sales.

I don't have
to tell you folks

that in this business,
with this band

that is a great deal of money
at the end of the fiscal year.

They're
multi-billionaires.

Case closed!

Picture time, fuck you.

You two over there
you back there.

Hey Jim, fuck you,
too.

This isn't
faiiiiiiiirrrrrrrr!!!

? Doodily ding dong
tick-tock ?

? Doodily ding dong
tick-tock ?

? Doodily ding dong
tick-tock ?

? Dethklok! Dethklok!
Dethklok! Dethklok! ?

No hard feelings about
the lawsuit, right guys?

And no hard feelings
to either of you two.

Sorry about assassinating
your characters earlier

Toki, Murderface,
you understand-

- Whatever!
- No problems!

Well we still have
to work together.

(grunts)

What's that Nathan?
I hear you grunting.

Why don't you just say
what's on your mind?

You just sued us!

Why don't you guys
get a ride home

in a fucking different car?

Why should l?
I mean, come on --

We're all
going to the same place.

What's wrong with
carpooling?

I don't know, I just don't
wanna be around you.

Feel like you're gonna
fucking sue me

for breathing too loud
or something.

Well I would
if I could collect,

but it's pretty clear
how things are!

ALL:
Ugh.

New caller --
Roy Cornickleson

head of Crystal Mountain Records.

Hey boys.

Good to see you all
together again!

Looks like you finally
buried the hatchet!

I'm calling again now that
all this business is over

to remind you
of the new deadlines

for your song demos.

Roy, as you can see, things
have been a little crazy.

But maybe
we can work out --

I'm going to need it
by the 17th.

No later.
Goodbye.

The 17th is
gonna be tough.

Yeah, and we got that winery opening
to go to.

- Yeah the ones ins France.
- Shhhh.

What? Gos to France?

Nothing...

How comes me and Moidaface
amments inviteds to France?

It's a little out
of your price range, okay?

So we didn't wants
to talks to you about it.

Oh, that is
sooo fucked up.

We're fucking
going to France!!

Why so you can go
and complain about prices

and guilt us into paying
for everything?

Yeah, that works for me!

That's it.
Pull the car over.

Murderface,
get out.

You're walking!

? ?

How do you like that?

Left out in the cold.

? ?

? Everyone's mad at Murderface

Everyone's being mean to me

Nobody gives me residuals

Fucking dick individuals

Fuck those dicks
why can't they see

I'm the fucking foundation
of this five-piece

I lay down the soul
I lay down the heart

but they try to fuckin'
tear me apart

Nothing in this world's
worth working for

If it don't come easy then it's dumb
and fucking boring

You better serve it up
on a silver fucking platter

I ain't breaking a sweat
'cause it don't really matter

Nothing in this world
shouldn't not be easy

If it means my comfort's challenged

It will make me queasy

I ain't gonna do stuff
give a bro a break

Why is stuff so hard

Why can't everything
be easy ? ?

Why can't it be easy, man?

Man, even singing
this song is hard.

They gotta make
everything hard.

I should hire someone
to sing this song.

That would be easy.

Then I'd have to tell 'em
how to sing it.

Then I'd have to pay 'em.

Where am I gonna get
the money?

See, everything leads
into everything else

and it makes it so hard, man.

That's why people
kill themselves.

? ?

SKWlSGAAR
Okay, so...

the riffs is
something's like dat's.

Great, yeah,
Sure, right that's cool.

I'll drum up some nonsense words
to tide the label over,

and we can act all
offended and shit

when they don't understand
what we're saying. Cool?

Yeah. Cool.
That always buys us some time.

We gotta get some songs
in this record, Toki!

Well I don't gots
nothing!

Well neither do l!

Check it out,
I did some research

And it says here,

If we're in the room
while songs are being created

and we chime in enough
and confuse them

we can get a bigger share
of the publishing.

So whats do we does?

We talk a lot and confuse them,
you idiot!

Oh fucks you.

So I plans on doing dis riffs
for a couple bars

That's all that I could do.

I'm not
a miracle worker.

What do you think
Murderface?

I'll just
redoes it myself.

I'll just not sleep
for a few days as usual.

Yeah, but first
let's eat, okay?

Guys, looks like you're working
real hard. That's great.

Your DethJet to France
is now pre-boarding.

These fucking guys.

It takes twice as long
to record

with them
in the fucking room.

We gotsta satisfy dere egos
just so we can undoes everything

and tricks them into thinkings
they plays on the record.

Just so they turn around
and fucking sue us.

At least we can enjoy
some wine in France.

TOKl:
Wells, how ams we supposed
to know its cost

150 bucks
just to get in?

Nobody tolds me that.

I fucking knew it.

You fly all the way
fucking to France

just to not go
to a fucking wine tasting

because you're too
fucking cheap.

Well I can't rationalize spending
that kind of money.

Not now, not with the way
the economy is.

We'll wait outside.

So both of you are
just gonna sit here

and wait outside
the entire time?

What else are we gonna do?

Go ahead, go in.
Have fun.

We'll be out here,
not having any fun...

standing.

Ughhhhh.

Fine, c'mon. C'mon.
I'm paying for you.

- Pickles... don't.
- C'mon. I don't wanna hear it.

Oh, thanks, Pickle!

Hey buddy,
you sure about this?

Don't talk to me anymore.
Just go inside.

I just want to make sure
it's okay.

You're doing this
for you...right?

Go inside.

Are you sure?

Get inside!

(gibberish)

(gibberish)

NATHAN:
Hey.

Wake up fuckers.
Wake up.

Pay attention.
No, look at me.

Listen, we can't take
your bullshit anymore.

We can't fucking handle it.

We've given you a lot of chances
and you know what?

We're kicking you out
of the band!

MURDERFACE:
They can't kick us out
of the band, can they?

CFO:
Yes they can.

It's a majority rule
situation here.

Think of it this way.
You're on suspension.

A month long suspension,
and if at the end of this term,

everyone
feels the same way,

we'll go through
with your departure,

divide up
the assets, etc.

But for now,
you will live here

but you guys are both on
musical suspension.

You mean like
I'm a fucking badass cop

who just took things
too far?

Sure. Whatever.

And now I gotta turn in
my gun and badge?

Well.
Yes. Actually.

That's kinda cool, man.
Gotta admit.

In all seriousness
I would like you to turn in

your instruments and your
Dethklok Badge.

I don't have a fucking
Dethklok badge.

You were given one
at one point.

Look, is there any way
we can turn this thing around

and just kick them
out of the band

and sue them or something?

Look, your problems
are money related.

And you're being accused of not
pulling your weight.

The obvious solution
is for you to focus more

on contributing
when you're needed

and if you need
to make money on the side

while you're on suspension

there may be a way
to do that too.

Man, fuck that contributing
mumbo jumbo crap,

what'd you say about making money
on the side?

? (indistinct rapping) ?

? ?

That's was outstandings!

You has de whole
package and great songs.

I can't believes yous guys
ams unsigned.

If I hads a labels
I'd totally signs yous!!!

Toki! I've got it!

How do we make money?
Not do any work?

And reap all
the publishing?

record label!!

Ha! They're kidding.

He just means the business

I mean I haven't heard
a note from you guys

and I don't like
anything about you.

That's what I mean.

And him, Murderface
is a failure.

You should know that.
You're in horrible hands.

Yeah well sorry,
but Dethklok's the past!

Murdertooth Records
is the future!

Fuck all of you,
we're moving on

and look at you all --

still working on the same old
tired Dethklok shit!

Desperately trying to hold on
to that dream.

Where are you guys getting
all the money to start your label?

None of your business.

Are you using
your own money?

(grunts)

You're not actually using your own
money, are you?

Ahhh man, you're lucky
I'm on suspension

or I'd answer that.

Here are your sleeping
quarters, my good men.

No need to tip, everything's been
taken care of

courtesy of the label.

What are we,
hired help?

Fuck this shit.

Guys, what's wrong?

Would you sleep here?

No, I have
my own bedroom.

You know what, guys?

We should just fuckin'
bounce, man.

I thought
this label was serious.

So I'm having
some mattresses brought up.

But maybe Toki could let you stay in
his room too?

Nah. This is alright.

Great.

Now as you can see,
I have a lot

of incredibly expensive
historical arti-

(crash!)

Okay, pals!

Fuck yeah man!
That guy is cool.

I'm not the assistant.
I'm the label head--

Whatever, motherfucker!

Send up some fucking booze

Uh guys,

Go. Get. Us.

Yeah, and blow.

Okay...
I'll see what I can do.

Dudes, we're blowing through songs
at record speeds.

We wrote and recorded
47 songs

and it's 2:15 pm.

Something like that
usually takes

about a year and a half!

Maybe because there ams nobodys
cloggings up de process.

It's like kicking Murderface
and Toki out of the band

may have been the best
thing we've ever done.

What the fuck happened here?

Well fucks dude,
leaves us alone, man.

We was ups
all nights partyin!

Toki, can I talk to you
for a second?

What are you doing?

Oh yeah dat's right.

Get focused!

We're fucking out

Oh, yeah.

Oh, good.
Thank God.

'Cause that's

Something stupid.
Something fat.

Something disagreeable.

It's missing...

It just came

I knew it was
too good to be true.

(heaving, sobbing)

Hey yo, cleaning man.

We need some cash now,
muthafucker.

Yeah, retardo.

I'm the head of the label.

Didn't I just give you guys
a huge advance?

We fucking spent it!

We need money now!
Let's go!

Worse case scenario we can steal
some of this studio equipment

and sell it
on the streets.

In the meantime,
tell your boss Toki

we need another advance,
muthafucker.

Well, It's been a month
and you've completed

your musical separation.

And now it's time
to make a decision.

Nathan, Skwisgaar, Pickles --

you wrote, recorded
and deleted 47 tracks of music

and completely missed
your deadline.

Toki and Murderface--
you started a label,

produced, wrote, and recorded
an entire record

but today's the day.

You're either in
or you're out of the band.

Gentlemen,
the choice is yours.

Help me.
I'm drowning here.

I just want
them out of my life.

I want my life back.

Just help me.

I was cleaning puke and-
Just help me out.

Just do something.
Come on man.

I just want my life back!

Murderface,
you're a piece of shit.

But
we need you back.

You see, we're too good
without you.

That kinda sucks dick.

Give him
whatever he wants.

And, uh, Toki...

ya know whatever.

It's making news all
around the world!

Dethklok
for the first time in years

is allowing a band
to open up for them!

And
who is this band?

From new metal label
Murdertooth Records

comes Get Thee Hence.

Their CD debuts
the night of the show.

What a push for this
brand-new unknown band!

Toki! We did it!

I never thought it would,

but all this hard work is
actually paying off!

Ohs yeah babes!

And we're finally gonna
clean up on the back-end

because we own
all the fucking publishing!

Actually you don't
own anything.

Sorry to inform you boys,

but all publishing
goes to my clients.

But-but-but how?!

We did all
the paperwork!

Didn't we Toki?

Yeah, I dids
all the paperworks myself.

You filled everything out

That means you get nothing.

Yo, Sorry dudes.
